Dear Friends,

Stricken with lymphoma, an incurable cancer of the blood, I underwent CHOP chemotherapy hoping for remission, however temporary. But after the second of the six prescribed debilitating cycles, I collapsed, which led to the devastating awareness that I had lost the use of my legs: I could no longer walk, no longer take care even of myself...

Seeing me helpless in a wheelchair, my husband fell into deep depression and ended up in a psychiatric clinic, and I was left to my own devices. I signed up with Hospice Home Care and a lady came three times a week to help me wash myself.

In these dark days of our lives, Food & Friends came to our rescue, feeding me and later my husband as well with nutritious food and untiring care, friendliness and professionalism.

I praise the Lord and Food & Friends, that my husband has gotten out of depression, and I began to take care of myself without the help of Hospice Home Care. . .

I praise Food & Friends for helping me find the physical and emotional strength to recently undergo a second round of chemotherapy along with cataract surgery in my ‘good eye’.

Food & Friends, God bless them all, have brought myself and my husband back to life and have strengthened our faith in selfless people on this Earth.

Most grateful for Food & Friends’ services in Northern Virginia,

The support of the restaurant community is essential to providing services for our clients. In Food & Friends’ first year, restaurants in the District donated meals which were then delivered to those in need. Nearly 25 years later, the restaurant community continues to make an impact in the lives of our clients through events like Dining Out for Life, Chef’s Best Dinner & Auction and our Celebrity Chef Dinner Series. We often call upon the goodwill of the restaurant community and it never fails to deliver. We are deeply grateful to each of these irreplaceable partners.
